>>>> Here in Iceland a 13.1 (133 cm) horse is really small I can hardly sell it
That doesn't make sense, unless you measure differently. I've seen lots of imports and lots of domestic's and I'd say that 13.1-13.2H is about average. The horses certainly don't get smaller the instant they hit USA air space. :) >>>> but there are breeders around me that has the medium size in the herd around 13.4. There is no 13.4H - that would be 14H, and if you measure accurately, there are not that many 14H Icelandics...a few, but not many. >>> I have never seen a 12 Icelandic horse and what then a 11.3! I can't remember seeing one under 12H either, but then I KNOW I've never seen one close to 15H! Both may exist, but they aren't common! >>>> I don´t want a "toothpick horse" as I call them these with tiny bone´s. We agree on that. :) >>> And it has also to do with what you feed your young stock if they don´t get enough they wont grow big of course so...... You can't feed them to make them bigger than their genes command, but yes, it's possible to stunt them by starving them. More than the food, or at least as much as the food, the way they are wormed is a big consideration. Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
